Kendall Wright makes three catches in first half

SEATTLE It will be a season of firsts for Titans wide receiver Kendall Wright, and here on Saturday night, the rookie from Baylor crossed a few off the list.

The first-round pick started the preseason opener against the Seahawks and made his first catch – a 15-yarder from quarterback Jake Locker. Wright had three catches for 47 yards in the first half. His longest catch was 18 yards. He didn’t play in the second half.

“I just came out trying to improve on what I had already been doing,” Wright said. “I wasn’t too nervous. I think I showed the coaches what I can do. I tried to have fun. The more I get more comfortable, the more I can do.”

After struggling in a practice against the Falcons on Monday, Wright seemed to settle in more against the Seahawks. Offensive coordinator Chris Palmer said heading into the game that Wright gets more comfortable each day.

“Pro football is a different game than college football and there’s a lot of things he may have been able to get away with on the college and now it is a matter of him realizing what he can do and what he can’t do,” Palmer said. “Kendall is going to be fine and he’s going to have a great season.”
